Also Firesand is a Very Common find when using the RNG ability Scavange.

And since when was COR an unpopular job? I seem to recall people looking for CORs specifically. Even today in Abyssea there are many people who still prefer to have a COR in their party than another full-fledged DD.

But in all seriousness, what really needs to be fixed on COR is also the main thing the everyone is agreeing with, not only for COR, but for RNG as well. The ammunition problem needs to be resolved.
I was helping some friends with feet seals from the bomb in vunkerl. I asked them if i could lot the djinn ash and ended up with 2 stacks of it. I made 10 stacks of firesand from that, which was nice... the big issue is the time it takes. 24 synths for the firesand and then if i want bullets (which i have a horrible failure rate with for someone who has 66 alch) it's going to be another 80+ synths (seeing as I fail 3 out of 12 attempts) to make a stack of pouches plus the 24 synths to make the ingots. I know why crafters aren't making these... they don't sell as fast as they used to and it takes a TON of time to make them whereas you can find something else to make that's faster and sells better. It is concerning when you go through 2+ stacks of bullets a night though lol.
